Hard Disk changed, Windows 8 doesn't install

Hey all, Recently i bought a new Hard Disk for my Acer aspire E1-570G laptop since the old one broke. I tried installing windows 8 and during the installation it did several errors. After that i tried to format the hard disk attaching it to another pc, then i tried to reinstall windows again and again. Nothing. After i ran the installation (on the partitions menu) it seems that you cant select partitions, and when you can select one and click "next", it fails with some kind of error after a while (ranging from "error 0x80070057" to "error 0x80300024"). Everytime i restart the windows installation, the pc creates new partitions everytime, and noone of them work.
I hope you guys can help me fix this issue. Thanks.

There is corruption with the 'system reserved' partition. I suggest you to delete all partitions from the drive(you don't need another PC). When you boot from the USB drive and enter in recovery menu, press F11 to open command prompt.
In command prompt enter
diskpart then
list disk(take note of the disk number you want install windows on) then enter
select disk x(x is the number of the disk that you want to install windoes on) then enter
clean all(this will format the drive and delete all partitions)
It may take long time until the disk is formatted. After the process is finished enter exit to exit from command prompt.

Already tried this method, but i went with it anyway again to see if this time worked. Tried to delete all partitions, but it didn't let me for an error (0x8007045d), opened command prompt and did all the diskpart thing, but when i typed "clean all" and waited a while, it did another error, wich said "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error"

I think something is wrong with the hard disk. Have you tried running the hdd as a second drive on other device to see whether ot will appear and how it will perform?

Yes, i attached it with a IDE SATA adaptor on another pc and it works, i also initialized it with another OS , then i formatted it ,and it appears to be working, since it appears on the second drives.

Can you repeat the same process, but this time instead of 'clean all' enter 'clean'?

Already tried, doesnt work

I don't understand why it doesn't let you format the disk. After you have selected the disk(select disk x) enter
chkdsk /f it may or may not work. What it does is that it will scan and fix any error on the drive.

If it doesn't, then I don't have any more ideas in mind. Someone else might have a solution.
